Concerts

Orpheus thrives on the camaraderie and appetite for adventure that brought its founders together in 1972. The 2011-12 season at Carnegie Hall honors that founding spirit, reigniting dynamic partnerships from the past and introducing the sounds and faces of the future.

Orpheus refreshes its long history with “Papa Haydn,” performing the hunt-inspired Symphony No. 73, “La Chasse,” and the whimsical Symphony No. 103, “Drumroll.” Other highlights include Mozart’s Symphony No. 40, Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings, and Copland’s Appalachian Spring Suite—signature classics from Orpheus’ legendary recordings—and unsung 20th-century marvels by Hindemith and Honegger.

In addition to collaborating with world-renowned artists, Orpheus champions extraordinary rising stars before they become household names. This year, the orchestra turns its attention to four of today’s most talented emerging composers—discovered, with input from music lovers around the world, through Project 440.

Don’t miss this yearlong celebration of the best of Orpheus: friendships that deepen with time and new adventures at every turn.

New this season, Orpheus teams up with Music Alive Composer-in-Residence Gabriel Kahane for two concerts at Galapagos Art Space in DUMBO, Brooklyn. Kahane joins Orpheus as composer, curator, and performer—fusing chamber music, art song, and indie rock into a musical language all his own.
